AI Engineer, Internal Tools

Excerpt from the original posting

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!

Figma employees are among the most AI-active in the industry, and our Internal AI team, part of FTS (our Business Technology org), helps turn that energy into meaningful impact by making it easier for every Figmate, from Sales and Support to Finance, People, and Legal, to safely adopt AI and use it to improve how they work. 

We’re a small, high-leverage team organized around three pillars: Platform & Tooling, Infrastructure & Hosting, and Applied AI Builds, and this role is a key member of the Applied AI Builds pillar.

As an AI Engineer, Internal Tools, you’ll work directly with teams across Figma to identify high-value AI opportunities and take them to production, moving from understanding a business workflow, to rapidly prototyping an approach, to evaluating it and integrating it with the systems and data needed to make it useful in the real world. 

This isn’t a role focused only on building AI demos: you’ll own solutions through production, help determine where AI adds value and where traditional rules-based software is the right choice, and shape how agents can safely take actions across enterprise systems. As common patterns emerge, you’ll partner with our Platform & Tooling and Infrastructure teams to build reusable capabilities that make future AI builds faster and safer.

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States. 

What you’ll do at Figma: 

- Partner directly with teams across GTM, Finance, People, Legal, Support, and other business functions to understand workflows and identify high-value opportunities for AI

- Design, build, and productionize AI agents, assistants, and workflow automations that solve real business problems using LLMs, tool calling, RAG, structured outputs, agent frameworks, MCP, APIs, and enterprise data

- Integrate AI applications with enterprise systems and data sources across GTM, Finance, People, Support, and internal APIs

- Build evaluations and feedback loops to…
